If you lived in Georgia,who would you vote for in the Democratic Primary
Edited on Mon Sep-12-05 11:29 PM by Up2Late
See, We have a dilemma here in the next election.

The two main Democratic candidates for Governor are:

1) The current Lieutenant Governor, Mark Taylor:

Normally, the Democratic Lieutenant Governor is always elected Governor when the Governor has served two terms, but now that Diebold counts our votes, that doesn't work anymore.

So most likely, he's going to lose against our 1 term, Diebold selected, ReTuglican Governor Sunny Purdue, even though he WILL get more votes.

OR

2) Our Current Democratic Secretary of State, Cathy Cox:

Who I would really like to vote for, so that we could elect Georgia's first Female Governor, but again, same situation as above, She'll most likely lose because of the Diebold vote counting, But Wait!

I gets more difficult than that!

See, because she is the Current Democratic Secretary of State, and the Secretary of State is in charge of (and she was the advocate for) the Diebold Voting and Vote counting machines, maybe it would be a fair election with her running for Governor?:shrug:

But then again, maybe Georgia still has enough male Democrats that "always vote for the Lieutenant Governor to replace the Govenor..."

Or Maybe we still have enough male Democrats who feel that they "Could never vote for a Woman for Govenor..."

And to top that off, these are the LAST 2 high ranking Democrats we have in Georgia State government, so even if one of them DOES win, we still lose one more Democrat from the state government.

So, What would you do?

3. Explain to me why Cathy can't keep her own voting machines working
Cathy is Secretary of State. She is well within her right to have a computer guru sit down and figure out what the potential glitch is. Or how about adding printers, couldn't Cathy do that? I know that Diebold is a tool that can be used to steal votes, but generally it only works when you have Republicans running the show. What's the deal here?

4. That's one of the things I'm still trying to figure out...
..., But then again, she DID get elected Secretary of State with them, so?:shrug:

That basically, is the dilemma.
